Abstract
Mineralizing angiopathy is a unique, age-specific stroke syndrome characterized by basal ganglia infarction and lenticulostriate calcification after minor head injury in early childhood. There is limited understanding of the pathophysiology, course, and clinical outcome of this syndrome. We describe the clinical and radiographical phenotype of a single-center, consecutively enrolled cohort of children with mineralizing angiopathy from January 2002 to January 2020 and provide a comparative analysis to previously published literature. Fourteen children were identified. Previously unreported findings include: stroke onset in eight children older than 18 months; presence of basal ganglia hemorrhage in four; multifocal basal ganglia infarcts in three; presence of additional non-basal ganglia calcifications in three; and presence of thrombophilia in one. Seven children had moderate-to-severe neurological deficits. There was no symptomatic stroke recurrence (mean follow-up 3y 7mo, SD 1y 7mo). Our expanded phenotype highlights distinct characteristics of mineralizing angiopathy in children and has the potential to inform future research. What this paper adds Children with mineralizing angiopathy are often misdiagnosed as having a limb fracture despite normal x-rays. A magnetic resonance imaging-only approach may miss this entity. Non-contrast computed tomography, in addition to MRI is recommended to identify calcifications in idiopathic arterial ischemic stroke. Most children have moderate-to-severe neurological sequela.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
